  • After reading Frank Cottrell-Boyce’s review, I now want to read his book on Liverpool.

    a long overdue analysis of that weird cocktail of truth, disinformation and racism – the legend of Purple Aki, an intimidatingly large body builder of Nigerian origin whose possibly harmless but unnerving kink is asking young men if he can feel their muscles. A lot of people think he’s an urban myth.

    I definitely thought Purple Aki was a myth until it came up in conversation and a couple of friends said they’d had close encounters with him.

    Fun fact: r/Liverpool will remove posts about him because his nickname is racist.
